Empire: Discussion Thread

I'm definitely Team Jamal but the thing that drove me crazy is when he gave Lucious back the check he got for working with Hakeem. That was stupid, pointless petulance. He should've kept it and always remind Lucious that he had to pay him for making the Leviticus opening successful. He earned that money, pure and simple.

Absolutely! I can't get behind anyone throwing away money left and right on a show like this.

Jamal has annoyed me because he talks big, but it is refusing to put in the work. He has one parent that is completely in his corner, but he's being stubborn about working with Cookie to get his career on track. And giving the money back was an eye rolling moment, too. At least Lucious was willing to pay him for his work.

Sorry but he did the right thing there...when you accept the money you're letting someone have power over you...my parents have tried the same ish with me and at a certain point I said ENOUGH. if you want to be truly independent then you don't accept the money and you return money that you know deep down you don't deserve or want because you know it has strings attached.

Jamal took a stand....I don't think it was a foolish prideful decision...

My problem with Jamal is that he's an Empire employee. Get those checks. 2nd clubs usually pay their performers.

I say he should lay up in his father's mansion with a beard and f*ck a dude on the side and you take that as a serious post? laugh.png

Jamal did a job. It was a JOB! Not a gift or a loan. These are two totally different things.

I think it was brave of his pampered *ss . He hasn't struggled in years, since he was little boy. Living in Bushwick might give him the edge he needs for his music!

  • Member

Yeah!! & when he come out with his music he's still going to get that check from his father. If he want to be real independent, he should have sign with another label.

A valid point. He needs to drop Empire and find another label if he wants to be cut off from his father.

Precisely...what's the difference. Jamal just seems like all bluster and bluff and empty show.
